Kourtaliotiko Gorge

Kourtaliotiko Gorge is a stunning natural wonder in Crete, famous for its dramatic cliffs, lush vegetation, and breathtaking waterfalls. As you hike through the gorge, you’ll experience the rush of wind echoing between the towering rocks, giving the area its name—“Kourtaliotiko,” meaning clapping sound. With its unspoiled beauty and rich wildlife, it’s a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. # Keep in mind, the descent from the viewpoint to the waterfall takes about 25 minutes, with an equally timed ascent back up, making it a rewarding and immersive experience #

    The whole trip was fantastic! The gorge and waterfalls were spectacular! Preveli beach was one of a kind! George was very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He was very detailed in letting me know what to expect in terms of the physicality of each place, which was important for the bits of hiking involved. He was also very accommodating when due to weather we had to make some changes to the original itinerary, but it all worked out for a lovely experience.
